CONTRACTS CHANGED ON
IRRIGATION PROJECT
The contract to build the canal
for the Gold Hill Irrigation District
was not considered feasible by the
bond holders, as It was thought too
many unforeseen circumstances
might arise for economy. J. D. Neale
representative of the Lumberman's
Trust Company, the bond holders,
suggested that the work be coniplet
ed under contracts stipulating a fixed
orlce and time, and this plan was
adopted by thfe board of directors
Th following contracts have been
given out:
F. S. Carter, builder of the head
works for the canal, has been award
ed the contract to finish the ditch as
far as Kanes creek.
Tom R. Pearce has the contract
for completing the engineering of
the project and lias secured the as
slstance of John Duhuls.
James Anderson holds a contract
for hillside and rock work near the
flumes.
Toney Ross was awarded a con
tract for excavation at Rock Point.
A contract will be let In the near
future for the completion of all re
malnlna work below the last con
tractor's work.
It is estimated that the project
will bte completed on May 1.
Washington. The trend toward
better agricultural education Is no
where reflected more clearly than in
the work of the fedoral board for
vocational education among the dis
abled soldiers, sailors and marines.
The number of boys who have been
raised oa farms of the non-progressive
type la considerable, and a large
proportion of them now desire to re
ceive specialized education in order
that they may go back to the old
home place, pull It out of the hap
hazard rut and put It on a paying
basis.
The sights these boys have seen In
France where the thrifty French
farmer has brought Intensive culti
vation to a science to where almost
unbelievable amounts are raised on
small acreage have undoubtedly
made a strong Impression upon our
returned soidjlers. They have de
cided after all, scientific agriculture
and management, at which the av
erage farmer is inclined to scoff,
really is something of actual value.
Many of these men are badly dis
abled and will never again be able
to rely upon brute strength, which
before the war was their chief and
only asset. They have now become
convinced that mere strength does
not amount to much and that It is
the expert knowledge and ability to
direct which does count most great
ly. This education Is given them ab
solutely free by the United States
government. They are sent to the
best agricultural schools In the coun
try, paid a supply allowance o $65
a month while purusing their stud
les, and all other expenses are de
frayed by the federal board. The
board is especially anxious to get In
touch with farm boys who have re
turned and found themselves unable
to make progress without special
training, and all letters of inquiry
are welcomed by the board, the ad
drees of which la Washington, D. C.

NEW HIGHWAY TO ELIMINATE
ROBERTS MOUNTAIN GRADE
According to the superintendent of
the road construction of the new cut
off on the Pacific highway south of
Roseburg, about nine mllos of the
new road will be ready for travel
this season. This new road lias us
beginning near Winston, and goes
south along the banks of the South
Umpqua river to near Dillard where
the road crosses the river and then
re-crosses about three miles further
on, and continues to Myrtel Creek,
completely eliminating Roberts
mountain.
This is one of the finest pieces of
road improvement In the county, as
Roberts mountain has been a great
menace to tourist travel, and the
many accidents, some fatal, that have
occurred on this hill make this a
dreaded section of the highway. It
will entirely eliminate all the grade,
and the road will be in readiness for
travel as soon as the season opens.
Other improvements are being made
In Cow Creek canyon, Canyon Creek
canyon, and near the town of Glen
dale. A new bridge will be built
ever Cow Creek about three miles
from Glendale and the new cutoff
will take what is. known as the old
Stage Coach road,' which will elimin
ate another bad hill. This, with oth
er Improvements now under way, will
make Douglas county roads as good
as any in the state, where it has been
in the past a country-wide Baying
that "Douglas county has the worst
roads in the state" and probably in
the west.
Pass Creek canyon and Roberts
mountain are the two great menaces
to travel. With both these eliminat
ed and many other grades reduced,
as well as about 15 railroad cross
ings eliminated, this county will be
fairly safe to travel thru. This how-
over, is some task as the county Is
126 miles In length, and road con
struction, of the right kind, Is hard
to get.
GOLD STRIKE REPORTED
FOUND ON THOMPSON CREEK
A strike of gold bearing quartz
has been discovered by two miners
of Thompson creek, who hove
samples on display. The ledge is
purported to be 18 feet wldfc. A 100
foot tunnel has been driven and a
shaft sunk 30 feet where ore rank
ing from $10 to $40 a ton has been
discovered. The mine is on Thomp
son creek, on former railroad land
and the miners are convinced thai
sufficient ore Is In sight to Justify
the erection of a mill.
NEW THRIFT PROPAGANDA
CAMPAIGN IS LAUNCHED
A broader field for thrift propa
ganda this year than the mere selling
of stamps has been chosen by the
national war savings organization,
and its district and state branches
Thousands of workers are Instruct
ed, it was announced, to preach prac
tlcal reasons tor intelligent saving,
wise spending, avoidance of waste
and safe investment.
Here are some of the mottoes sug
gested for thrift promotion:
"Debts are the poorest spectacles
thru which to read advertising col
umns.
"Look before or you will find
yourself behind." BenJ. Franklin.
"Intelligent saving looks to fu
ture wise spending and Is, therefore!
postponed enjoyment..
"Money Is eel-like; war savings
stamps sand will hold on to it.
"Real merchandising service as
slsts the customer to get what he re
ally needs.
"Owners of war savings stamps
have a definite stake In their nation,
which makes for practical citizen
ship.
"Which Is the better citizen? The
thrl(ter or tho drifter?"
As the result of the Prohibition
bomb shell, the casualty lists are ex
pected now to report Tom and Jerry
among the missing.

AVOID TROUBLE WITH
FORD IN COLD WEATHER
"Ford owners could save them
selves a lot of trouble In cold weath
er if they would only use a good,
zero cold test oil of light body re
fined from California crude," salJ
Mr. W. E, Walker, for the Standard
Oil Company, in discussing cold
weather lubrication yesterday.
"In the Ford motor, the clutch Is
combined with the engine and lubri
cated from the crank case, if the
oil gets thick and sluggish in cold
weather, the discs of the clutch
stick together. This Is what causes
hard cranking and that persistent
creeping forward as If the clutch
were partly engaged.
"Zerolene Light as refined from
California crude of the naphthene
series has a natural zero cold test,
It flows freely down to zero tempera
ture. It does not become stiff ana
sluggish because It contains no par
affins to congeal and thicken in
cold weather. When such oil is
used there is no trouble with bard
cranking, inefficient lubrication or
sticky clutch."

A sufficient or surplus labor sup

counties favor fixing a wage scale,
five oppose it, while others are not

warrant repeating the policy.
Wages of $50 to $75 a month are
current, but no report on probable

LOW SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
MAY COME FROM TRUANCY
The monthly Teports from the var
ious schools of the county invariably
show a dlscouraglngly low percent
age In attendance. This Is no doubt
due almost entirely to the epidemic
which raged In some of the districts.
However, since every known precau
tion is being taken and after due
deliberation on the part of board
members and teachers, schools have
been opened, it would seem that
keeping children out for fear of the
Influenza especially where no Influ
enza exists, Is hardly a legitimate
excuse. The county superintendent
requests teachers to make an effort
to get all children back Into school,
and where teachers are satisfied that
the Compulsory Education Law Is
not being complied with, they will
make the necessary reports as now
required by law.
C. E. Terrlll, county sheriff, has
been appointed probation officer of
the Juvenile Court of Jackson Coun
ty, and besides enforcing the child
labor laws he will act as County Tru
ancy Officer for all school districts
except Medford and Ashland, which
have special truancy officers.
Labor can't come down because
prices are so high, and prices can't
come down because labor costs so
much. . .
